Been using Lanoguard (or Lamotex) for about 20 years on my Landrovers. Our 2006 Freelander was done when we bought it new and recoated every couple of years and for a 16 year old vehicle is fairly rust free. I did our 2016 VW Amarok new when we bought it and 6 years on still looks like new underneath. I first found out about it from the farming community as the agricultural industry have been using it for years. It's also used a lot in Australia in the 4 x 4 community.

I used dinitrol first then lanoguard over that. Easy to apply. Pleased with the results. Found it easier to put the spray tub in warm water before use, and put the grease tub in hotter water. Very impressed with the grease. With hot water soaking before, it just paints on, but cools to a very solid grease.

I use a stuff called Corroless. It’s being used more and more on landrovers but I swear by it. It’s a paint used on oil rigs to prevent corrosion from sea water etc. You coat elverything in this rust inhibiting primer and then top coat it with its top coat. I don’t tent to bother with the branded topcoat and I just use hammerite or something. The primer is what does the work. It stops rust but also treats any rust present. It definitely works and has a work life of 14years. The issues with it is it takes a lot of prep, you’ve got to get as much stuff back to bear metal as possible like any paint. You can’t paint it onto flaky material or dirt. But it sprays on easy and looks fab

I think lanoguard is brilliant stuff, I’ve used all sorts of different products over the years on various land rovers I’ve had and this is by far the easiest and least messy of them all, and seems to bead water for the longest too, only thing is I wish they did a black version, it would just smarten it up better I think, as you can still see ugly surface rust, when I applied it for the second time after 12 months, I gave a mist coat of dinitrol first a week before the lanoguard to smarten the chassis up, only issue I had was with the trigger gun, when I came to use it a year on the gun had failed on the seals i think, it wouldn’t pump through, even tho I cleaned if thoroughly after the first time, but the product itself seems to work great, I’ll get more and use it again later in the year ready for next winter on my defender.

The issue with all "Modern" Defenders is the fact that there is no paint prep carried out on the chassis post welding. The "paint" that LR apply simply flakes off everywhere.. look at the underside of every LR product. See my videos for proof of this following a 100% stripdown. I Waxoyled my 2011 defender from day one and have no rust whatsoever inside the chassis. However, EVERY welded area of the chassis corroded and it spread like wildfire. After sand blasting, painting with Corroless and re treating with Waxoyl I now have a totally rust free chassis that is not a disgusting sticky mess.

Problem with all of these products is that they are by design under sealers. Unless you first apply a rust converter chemical, you are simply sealing over the existing rust. Rust converters produce a chemical reaction that reacts with the rust to produce a black inert substance that can then be over painted. The black coating will prevent air oxidising the surface of the metal further preventing new corrosion. Then and only then should you use a paint or coating product of your choice. Anything else is a essentially waste of money.

I agree with you, have applied used engine oil over many years but found it time consuming trying to avoid electrical connections, rubber items and the like. Additionally….it’s a pain when you have to carry out repairs later, oil on everything and road grime sticks and stays but overrall it’s a very cost effective alternative. I spray liberally into the chassis which over the years has been effective. Just don’t over do it, leaving oil on drives and the roadway is not a good policy. Incidentally….i mix about 350 mls of chain saw oil to 5 litres of oil, warm till quite hot, stir well and apply with an old paint spray gun……30 minutes for a pick up once its jacked up and prepped with a stiff brush and air line.

You would probably have to get rid of the galvanized covering if you wanted to wield an area. My current Landy is 16 years old and its non-galvanised chassis is getting wielded now. Next up for me is cutting the rear section off and replacing it sometime in the next 5 years? At a wild guess a galvanized chassis will last 20 years somewhere near the sea, maybe double that (30 to 40) in a less corrosive environment. So when the time comes to replace the rear section I'll have to decide whether to just fix the back chassis or replace the whole thing. There are certainly galvanized roofs around my way that seem to last forever. (It's around £8K in the UK to get one professionally fitted now, but that usually includes replacing other bits that have rusted out at the same time.)
